Health Conditions We Treat
Comprehensive care for gastroenterology conditions
Abdominal Pain
Abdominal pain is discomfort that occurs between the chest and pelvic regions. It can range from mild to severe and may be acute or chronic. Abdominal pain can be caused by various conditions, from simple indigestion to serious issues like appendicitis or inflammatory bowel disease. At Blume Health, our gastroenterology team offers comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for all types of abdominal pain.
Appendicitis
Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, a finger-shaped pouch that projects from your colon on the lower right side of your abdomen. Appendicitis causes pain that typically begins around the navel and then shifts to the lower right abdomen. It is a medical emergency that requires prompt surgery to remove the appendix. If left untreated, an inflamed appendix can rupture, spilling infectious material into the abdominal cavity, which can be life-threatening.
Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder where the ingestion of gluten—a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye—triggers an immune response that damages the small intestine. This damage leads to inflammation and villous atrophy (flattening of the small fingerlike projections lining the small intestine), which reduces the surface area available for nutrient absorption. As a result, people with celiac disease can experience malnutrition and various systemic symptoms, despite eating a balanced diet. At Blume Health, our gastroenterology team provides expert diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing management for celiac disease patients.
Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer refers to cancers that begin in the colon or rectum, which together make up the large intestine, the final part of the digestive tract. Most colorectal cancers start as small, noncancerous (benign) clumps of cells called polyps that form on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. Over time, some of these polyps can develop into cancer. Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide, but with early screening and detection, it is highly treatable and often preventable. Regular screenings can identify and remove precancerous polyps before they develop into cancer, making colorectal cancer one of the most preventable types of cancer.
Gastro Problems
Gastro problems encompass a wide range of conditions affecting the digestive system, from the esophagus to the rectum. These include common issues like indigestion, gastritis, peptic ulcers, and functional disorders that cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits. At Blume Health, our gastroenterology team provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for the full spectrum of digestive disorders.
Hernias
A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue protrudes through a weakened area in the surrounding muscle or connective tissue (fascia). In the digestive system, common hernias include hiatal hernias (stomach protruding through the diaphragm), inguinal hernias (intestine protruding through the abdominal wall in the groin), umbilical hernias (around the navel), and incisional hernias (at the site of previous surgery). Hernias can cause discomfort, digestive symptoms, and in some cases, serious complications if they become strangulated. At Blume Health, our gastroenterologists and surgeons provide comprehensive care for all types of hernias, from diagnosis to surgical repair using advanced minimally invasive techniques.
Jaundice
Jaundice is a condition characterized by yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes, and whites of the eyes due to high levels of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced when red blood cells break down. Jaundice itself is not a disease but a sign of an underlying condition affecting the liver, bile ducts, or red blood cells. At Blume Health, our gastroenterology team offers comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for jaundice and its underlying causes.
Liver Cirrhosis
Liver cirrhosis is a late-stage liver disease in which healthy liver tissue is replaced with scar tissue, preventing the liver from functioning properly. The scar tissue blocks the flow of blood through the liver and slows the liver's ability to process nutrients, hormones, drugs, and toxins. It also reduces the production of proteins and other substances made by the liver. Cirrhosis is a progressive disease that develops slowly over many years and can lead to liver failure if not properly managed.
Liver Disease
Liver disease encompasses a range of conditions that affect liver function and health, including fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. The liver performs hundreds of essential functions, from detoxification to protein synthesis and digestion support. When liver function is compromised, it can have wide-ranging effects on overall health. At Blume Health, our hepatology team offers comprehensive care for all forms of liver disease, from early diagnosis to advanced treatment, including liver transplantation.
Pancreatic Disorders
Pancreatic disorders encompass a range of conditions affecting the pancreas, a vital organ located behind the stomach that produces digestive enzymes and hormones like insulin and glucagon. These disorders include inflammatory conditions (pancreatitis), cancers, cysts, and endocrine disorders that affect hormone production. Due to the pancreas's deep location in the abdomen, disorders often present late and can be challenging to diagnose and treat. At Blume Health, our multidisciplinary team of gastroenterologists, surgeons, oncologists, and endocrinologists provides comprehensive care for all pancreatic conditions.
Acid Reflux & Acidity Problems
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation, inflammation, and symptoms like heartburn. While occasional acid reflux is common, frequent episodes may indicate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Acidity problems refer to excessive acid production in the stomach, leading to discomfort, burning sensation, and indigestion. At Blume Health, our gastroenterology team offers comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for acid reflux and related digestive disorders.
GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)
GERD is a chronic digestive disorder that occurs when stomach acid or bile flows back into the esophagus, irritating the lining and causing symptoms like heartburn and regurgitation. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications like esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, or even esophageal cancer. At Blume Health, our gastroenterology team offers comprehensive diagnosis and treatment options for GERD.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder that affects the large intestine. Unlike inflammatory bowel disease, IBS doesn't cause changes in bowel tissue or increase the risk of colorectal cancer, but it can significantly impact quality of life through chronic symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits. IBS is considered a disorder of gut-brain interaction, involving factors such as intestinal motility, visceral hypersensitivity, gut microbiome changes, and psychological influences. At Blume Health, our gastroenterology team provides comprehensive, personalized care for IBS patients through an integrated approach addressing both physical symptoms and psychological aspects.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) encompasses a group of chronic inflammatory conditions affecting the digestive tract, primarily including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. These conditions involve immune system dysfunction where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the digestive tract, causing inflammation, damage, and various symptoms. At Blume Health, our gastroenterology team offers comprehensive management strategies for IBD patients.
